I specialize in working with women on empowerment and claiming their sexuality whether it's a new phase of life or in recovery from trauma & abuse.

With playful challenge, I focus on working with what's happening in the present moment. My biggest influence comes from a body-centered lens using mindfulness and awareness practices. This is due to my training and belief that we hold our experiences and greatest guides within our bodies. Whether this is a small or large part of our work together, we will sculpt our time so that it best suits you, your goals and your progress.

Professional Specialties: adolescent, family and marital/relationship therapy, depression and other mood disorders, self-esteem issues, parenting skills, ADHD and the recovery from addictive behaviors. 15 years experience with intake, assessment, diagnostic practices and treatment plan designs. Nominated for Colorado Outstanding Counselor, offering a sliding scale fee structure supporting a solution-focused and goal oriented practice.

I believe that infants, toddlers, and young children do not exist in a vacuum. They exist within the context of their primary caregiving relationships, and I feel passionate about using my training and expertise in infant, early childhood and maternal mental health to help strengthen those relationships. I provide evidence-based family play therapy for children (0-7) and caregivers together, who are struggling with early trauma, behavior management, and relationship challenges. I also work individually with pregnant and postpartum mothers suffering from perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Parenting can be challenging, but we don't have to go through it alone.
